It definitely gets better day 3. That’s when I turned the corner. Even though a week plus one day out I’m still a little sore. But day 3 was when I could kind of get my life together again. Hope you feel better soon!!!

You should try “cloud bread” recipes!!! They r low carb!!

Three huge influences in Bariatric Surgery have come together and made an amazing program!! I am already signed up! I will attach the link and you can read all about it. It covers three huge factors from three totally different prospective. 
1. Our mindset ( our mind hunger)
2. Our eating lifestyle and cooking 
3. Our fitness (safe and effective) 

I will be starting personal training with Geoff here in Denver at my 6 weeks mark. He is referred by my surgeon which is a surgeon of excellence and also a teacher of Batiatric surgery to many countries. 

Because I know we all need it and what the best results the best long term outcome.

I think there is an option to ask questions and you can email the team maybe they can split it up? Also I think bariatric mindset offers some free courses for our head hunger and meditation 🙃

I am not soliciting? I don’t get paid for this? It’s just a hood program I wanted to share? Take ur miserable comments else where. Some people may need help with this journey. And they shouldn’t be afraid or lost finding it.

Good luck and wishing for a speedy recovery

So glad you feeling better!!! The nausea is rough at the beginning. With you new tummy. But it’s so worth it.

I wanted to post this first here. Three huge influences in Bariatric Surgery have come together and made an amazing program!! I am already signed up!

He is referred by my surgeon which is a surgeon of excellence and also a teacher of Batiatric surgery to many countries. I thought I would share with my Jan group first before posting around.

O wow that is a lot different. Yes every surgeon is different and sometimes they perform the surgery different which could effect healing etc and why they want us to do different things. They all have there reasons as to why there theory is best for there surgery healing. My surgeon has been doing this for a long time and he teaches people around the world Mexico, the U.K., New Zealand and of course also in the US lol so his techniques are probably different? And he may be more lenient on advancing stages faster? But someone that was in a pre op class with he has her in full liquids for 2 weeks. So I think it may have something to do with her medical problems. And he see that certain patients can’t advance as fast? So I think he trailers his standard guide a lot of needed or certain situations. I am feeling AMAZING today. I have no pain. I’m with my baby and we are back to our normal routine. It 6 days out from surgery. So I am very happy with results. I weighed myself today Starting weight 289 ( before prenop liquid) Pre op weight day of surgery 280? I think Current weight 270 Goal weight 155

Also the Baritastic app has great ideas!!!!!

Omg and I also saw a cheeseburger pie :/ I may be trying in the future

Omg yes please send pics. I need some ideas for refried beans. I have them and also black beans and red kidney beans but I haven’t thought of how to use them yet. Yea lightheaded is just a thing now lol yea know. It’s great. Yea see I knew there was a reason about the sleeve but I couldn’t piece it together lol I think my dietary plan might be different also because my surgeon just does things differently we where never on a clear liquid diet after surgery (except in the hospital the first couple hours) And our first week we can have anything we can strain? So soups, smoothies etc and then we go to soft foods no puréed stage and work out way up. They kind of use a texture scale thing. But soft food include like egg whites, beans, cottage cheese, ricotta etc

Omg that sound so yummy!!!! Great idea to stash away when you cook!!!!

I made the Shelly ricotta bake it is delicious. I also made ham and egg cups. And broths. Idk what you mean not that it matters your getting the sleeve? Sorry kind of light headed lol :)

Does dumping syndrome happen with the sleeve? So I had low blood sugar and was feeling light headed. My on call nurse recommended I drink something with sugar. I had my husband get me a mini strawberry slush from Sonic with only half the sweetening syrup they use. I thought the ice chips and sweet would be great together. 2 sip sips in my stomach gurgled and now I can’t leave the porcelain throne :/

Still sore when I twist or bend and lift baby. I just need to learn to listen to my body and take it slow. But the pain is minimal I am only taking Tylenol. The pain from a sip to big is worse than surgery pain :D everyone laughs and asks me how a sip can be too big. Well it can lol or when u eat a popsicle and u also swallow air. That’s uncomfortable

I just wanted to update. I’m 4 days post op. Surgery 14th. Today I am feeling a lot better still nauseous with water but water is all I drink other than protein shakes( ensure max protein) because I’m not a sweet drink type of person always loved my water. I am also allowed strained soups etc anything that does through a strainer. I have my first post op Tuesday one week and can graduate to soft foods eggs refried bean cottage cheese etc I feel a lot better with knowing when i will get full. Cause sometimes full hits u like a Mac truck lol and ur like omg 😳blahhhh

Good luck to all the surgeries coming up this week!!!! Keep us updated!!!!

Me too!!! They differ so much.

No I haven’t had an X-ray. My nurse said it’s just the bleeding that was caused by the staples and also narcotics can make ur stools black. So that peace of mind. My fluid is a little low. But I sip sip sip all day. Protein goes down ok but sits heavy. I also strained some soup and drank the sauce/ broth.

How was recovery for ur band to bypass? I heard it’s rough? This was my first surgery. And I was not expecting the lag from anesthesia. Lol I thought I’d just pop up and be fine and dandy lol Hahahaha

Ok good I was like omg something is wrong!!!! But glad I’m not the only one. How is your fluid intake? Are you racing your goal??

I also weighed in today and I am down 15lbs. Since I started my 48 hour pre op clear liquid diet. Starting weight- 289 (after holidays) Pre op 285 3 days post op-274 I still have a lot of swelling in my stomach hands and feet from all the IV fluids they gave me.

Does anyone know if irbid normal to have black tar BM after surgery? VSG?

Yea I have ice and heat packs. I walk every thirty mins. I think it will just take time to heal.
